370 Patron Saint, Weekend, Dark Wizard

370 Patron Saint, Weekend, Dark Wizard

Cutting out the bones?The Cruciatus Curse? !

Lucius actually planned to cast the Unforgivable Curse at Hogwarts, or in front of the students?

How could he be so crazy? !

What happened during the missing year?

Since when had he cared so much about Abraxas Malfoy?

If it hadn't been for Bloody Baron to stop him, Lucius would have used the Cruciatus Curse to teach Peeves a lesson.

After this experience, the students looked at Lucius with something wrong - just like Lily said, no one among this group of students liked Lucius, but no one thought that he would lose his temper. So sensible.

But Lucius didn't pay attention to any glances. He continued to lead the students down the corridor, going higher and higher, and kept walking upstairs along the moving stairs.

No students spoke any more along the way, but their expressions gradually became weird - they had gradually passed the sixth floor, the seventh floor, and finally reached the eighth floor, the highest floor of the castle - Gryffindor and Ravenclaw My dormitory is on this floor of the tower, but no one has ever heard of a place suitable for Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

Where exactly is Lucius taking them, the Owlery?

However, only Karan's eyes became more solemn - he watched Lucius walk to a blank wall at the end of the corridor. After he walked back and forth silently for three times, many students appeared among the students. The commotion - a door appeared out of thin air!

Room of Requirement!

Lucius actually wanted to take them to the Room of Requirement!

Karan had long known that Lucius knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement, and the person who told him was probably Voldemort. In the first grade, Karan even suspected the crazy elements used on the Acromantula. Other special dark magic potions were concocted by Lucius in the Room of Requirement.

This time Voldemort no longer regarded the Room of Requirement as his deepest secret, but openly shared it with his servants - because he failed to find traces of the Ravenclaw Diadem, Principal Dumbledore was one step ahead of him.And later, when Voldemort returned to Hogwarts, the place where he hid the treasure parchment was also the Chamber of Secrets, not the Room of Requirement.

Lucius pushed open the door, and a layer of white air suddenly floated out silently from inside, coating the ground with frost.

He turned around with an impatient expression and said to the students: "This is a special classroom that only I can open. It is also where our next class will be. Now, go in and remember not to touch the things inside."

The students all showed expressions of resistance, and coupled with Lucius's malicious attitude, it looked like he was trying to frame them.

However, after Lucius's repeated urging, the students still walked into this unknown room - the moment they stepped through the door, Karan felt like he had entered an ice cellar, better than Slytherin's. The dungeon is even colder.

The entire classroom has no windows, only torches are hung on the walls, some abandoned boxes are piled in the corners, and a black curtain hangs on the boxes——

"That curtain is moving—!"

Peter suddenly shouted in horror: "There's something behind, maybe a ghost——"

"Shut up! You idiot!"

Lucius finally closed the door to the Room of Requirement and yelled angrily: "There is nothing behind the curtain, don't waste your time!"

But his words had no effect. Uneasiness quickly spread in the hearts of the students. Many people were still staring at the curtain in fear, worried that something would suddenly rush out.

"This classroom is so terrible." Lily rubbed the sides of her arms vigorously and whispered, "I feel like I can't be happy all of a sudden. I just want to leave as soon as possible."

Steve also frowned and said with a round face: "I don't even want to eat snacks, and why is this classroom so cold?"

After staring at the curtain for a while, Karan and Gaspard looked at each other silently, and then they and other students looked at Lucius.

Now he was getting more and more impatient. He really didn't know why he insisted on becoming a professor at Hogwarts.

"Okay, now let's start the official class."

He said viciously, his eyes still lingering on the two troublemakers James and Sirius for several seconds - but they were also affected by this inexplicable classroom and had no intention of opposing Lucius.

Lucius pulled out his wand, stood in front of the students, and finally said: "The content of this lesson is-the Patronus Charm."

what?

The students were all stunned, and then many began to whisper.

"Quiet!" Lucius shouted: "Stop wasting time, quiet!"

"But we are only in the third grade, how can we learn the Patronus Charm?" A student asked in confusion.

"Remember to raise your hands before asking questions!" Lucius glared at the student, and then continued: "This is the opinion of the school. Some people think that the third grade is enough to learn the Patronus Charm. Now, I don't want to do it anymore. If you hear any rebuttal, get out your wands!"

The students hesitantly took the wand into their hands, and Lucius began to explain: "The Patronus Charm is a very advanced magic that can create a Patronus. Everyone's Patronus is different. This is the Dementor's. Nemesis, and many other wonderful uses.”

"Remember, all your thoughts must be focused on a particularly pleasant moment for this spell to be effective."

He gave the students a moment and asked them to try to recall a happy moment - Callan noticed that although Lucius didn't seem to want to stay with them anymore, his attitude in teaching was serious. At least he didn't intentionally cause trouble during this quiet time.

The curtain fluttered silently behind the students, and James and Sirius secretly glanced at Karan - they had both seen Karan's patron saint with their own eyes, but due to the short time and the suddenness of the incident, I didn't see clearly what it was, but it looked like a horse with wings.

Neither of them noticed that Remus was absolutely heartbroken at this moment - he had already guessed that this was the Room of Requirement, but when the full moon was approaching, he was going to transform in such a terrible place?

After seeing that the students were almost ready, Lucius cleared his throat and said: "The spell is to call for divine protection!"

"Calling the gods to protect you!" the students repeated in a scattered voice.

"Continue to practice." Lucius said again: "Concentrate all your thoughts on the happy memories-call for divine protection!"

Among the students, Karan just repeated the spell silently - although he successfully summoned his patron saint, he had no intention of exposing it in front of everyone - the appearance of the patron saint was considered a wizard's secret, let alone It is too rare to mention that his patron saint is a Thestral, and more people must not know about it.

Neither Lucius nor Dumbledore could know.

Knowing that Callan has not lessened his suspicion of Dumbledore now, he is not sure what a Thestral Patronus means to Dumbledore who has the Elder Wand, but he never wants the other party to target him because of it - especially The risk was even greater after he learned that Antioch might have studied blood magic.

Unless Callan figures out whether Antioch has become the forbidden one on the Elder Wand, and whether Dumbledore has been influenced by Antioch.

Soon it was time for everyone to practice. Steve pretended to look for Karan for help. He whispered: "I seem to remember what this classroom looks like - Baigete, after the second time of jumping through the pot, After making Bagette, I felt a similar feeling in the secret room of Potter Manor."

Karan also felt the same, but he felt that the atmosphere in this classroom was slightly different from that of Baigete. It was not fear, but more like despair...

He glanced at the black curtain again, wondering if the Room of Requirement could really do this—even simulate the effect of a dementor?

During the entire class, the students had not successfully summoned the Patronus, not even the white gas - although it is conceivable that this classroom was specially prepared to train students to face Dementors, but this pair It was still too difficult for a group of third graders.

"Please submit your experience on using the Patronus Charm before the next class."

Lucius finally assigned the homework with a livid face. He was very dissatisfied with the students' performance. Before leaving, he looked at Karan suspiciously - he didn't seem to believe that Karan's magical talent was rumored to be enough to summon him. I can't even vent my anger.

"Why can't he demonstrate it himself?" After finally walking out of this weird classroom, Sirius said disdainfully: "Are you worried that his Patronus will scare us?"

"Hmph, maybe it's worse than this." James deliberately said loudly: "The dark wizard can't summon the Patronus. I really don't know why he has to come to teach us."

Karan ignored what the two said - even though he thought so himself, Lucius was a dark wizard, so that's why he didn't summon his patron saint in front of the students.

He then walked out of the castle and finally found Pandora who was quietly reading a book by the black lake on the playground.

"You want me to read Lucius's mind?" Pandora asked in surprise.

"That's right," Karan nodded: "The next time he teaches Ravenclaw Academy, the specific characteristics are...three times, repeating the idea silently three times."

"Oh, okay." Pandora did not refuse: "Then I'll give it a try."

Pandora is a natural legilimens, and Karan does not know legilimens, so he can only ask her for help.

Only in this way can Karan know how to open that classroom - Lucius was not wrong about this. Perhaps only he knows the password to open that special classroom silently.

The classes in the next few days became much more normal. The teachers were all familiar teachers and the courses were all familiar. Steve occasionally complained loudly about the increased difficulty of the Transfiguration class. Now they were starting to get to know Arnie. Magus, and difficult courses such as turning a beetle into a button to a teapot into a turtle, each will be assigned a homework paper that is many inches long.

"It's just the beginning of school." Steve complained as he lay on the library table: "When will the weekend come? I can't wait to go to Hogsmeade."

For the third grade students, this is definitely the weekend they are most looking forward to - they are finally allowed to go to Hogsmeade Village, where there is Honeydukes full of various snacks, and there are also toys selling toys. In the joke shop, everyone was excited to prepare their change and plan what they wanted to buy in advance.

Only Filch seemed a little disappointed. He stood at the school gate with a dark magic detector and stared at every student passing by, as if they all had evil intentions.

"What's the use of this?" Snape said disdainfully: "He must not know the secret passage of the castle. There is a secret passage of the potion preparation room. We can do anything we want to get in."

"The same goes for everyone else." Karan said worriedly - he once suspected that Lucius knew the secret of the secret passage behind the one-eyed witch statue, although it was later guessed that Lucius had an invisibility cloak and disappeared. The reason for being so fast, but Karan was still wary of Lucius.

"You two, keep your voices down." Lily reminded, "It will be our turn soon."

The three of them accepted Filch's investigation and then walked out of the school gate one after another.

Today is the weekend. Steve woke up the other two people in the dormitory early in the morning and urged them to go to Hogsmeade Village with him. Gaspard agreed, but Callan did not. He had already arrived in advance. Made an appointment with Snape and Lily.

After walking outside the castle for a long time, they finally saw a familiar village. Snape asked: "Do you want to go get the jumping cauldron first? Gesper has been urging you for a long time, or do you want to go to my house first?"

Although Mrs. Prince had warned Snape many times that there was no need to go back to the shop to help, he still felt that he had to go back at least for a visit to feel at ease.

"There's no rush in any of this." Karan said as he inspected the students coming and going on the street: "Don't forget the purpose of our gathering together - to find Ted first, at least to know if he has seen him when school starts. Headmaster Dumbledore."

This is also the reason why the three of them got together. They were all witnesses of the Acromantula incident in the first grade, and they all knew the identity of Lucius' murderer. They really couldn't understand why Principal Dumbledore recruited Lucius. Such a person.

At Honeydukes, they met Steve, who had his pockets full, and Guspard, who asked about the whereabouts of the jumping cauldron.

"You asked Ted?"

Steve's mouth was also full, and he said vaguely: "I saw him just now. Maybe he went to the Three Broomsticks Bar to drink some cold drinks or something because of the hot weather."

The two parties said goodbye, and Lily looked at the novel candies in the window with nostalgia: "Are those all new? Maybe I should buy some after a while and send them to Penny."

Unlike Callan and Snape, Lily only visited Hogsmeade once during the vacation at the end of her first year, and never came back again.

The three of them crossed the street and entered the Three Broomsticks Bar in a few minutes. The place was even busier than usual. After seeing them, Miss Rosmerta took the initiative and walked over: "Want something to drink? Unfortunately, there is no room. But you can sit at the bar, I’ve hidden a few extra benches.”

"No need for now." Karan asked, "Have you seen Ted?"

"Let me see -" Rosmerta glanced around: "There, Ted is there."

Near a table in the corner of the bar, Ted, Andromeda, and Kingsley were all sitting there. They seemed to be discussing something, and the glasses in front of everyone were mostly empty.

Ted also saw the three people, and after whispering something, he walked towards them.

"I knew you would come to me." He smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. Follow me upstairs. The guest room should be quieter."

The Three Broomsticks also have inn services. Lily once lived on the second floor of the pub, and the Aurors who worked in Hogsmeade Village also lived here.

On the way upstairs, Callan asked curiously: "Has the Ministry of Magic captured Abraxas Malfoy?"

"Not yet." Ted shook his head solemnly: "No one knows where Malfoy is hiding. We probably have to stay in Hogsmeade for a long time - have you read that report? Is it? It is said that Malfoy hides some kind of weapon. This is the key to his ability to escape Azkaban. If you encounter him, you must remember to be careful."

"Don't worry!" Lily vowed: "I will keep an eye on them and won't let them mess around."

Lily was the only one who could say such a thing. Neither Callan nor Snape answered. Snape then asked: "What about Malfoy Manor? Have you searched there?"

"Of course it has." Ted shook his head in disappointment and said, "Shortly after Abraxas Malfoy escaped from prison, Aurors searched Malfoy Manor again, and after I learned that Lucius came to Hogwart I applied again later and found nothing."

The three people behind Ted looked at each other silently - it seems that Burke's luck is really good. The time when he went to Malfoy Manor happened to be between the two searches, but this also shows that Malfoy Manor is not him. The final destination, otherwise he would have been caught red-handed during the second search.

Ted took them into a comfortable double room, then let them sit on the bed casually, and he pulled a chair over and sat across from them.

"Okay." He said with a smile: "You are here for Lucius, right? After all, it was you who saved me in the Forbidden Forest."

"That's right." Karan couldn't wait to ask: "Did the principal tell you anything on the first day of school? Why did he insist on recruiting people like Lucius Malfoy?"

"I didn't understand what the principal did." Ted shook his head slightly and said, "Of course, I don't fully understand it now, and I haven't even completely forgiven Lucius."

"But I still have no problem with Lucius being your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"How could it be?" Snape frowned.

"The process of the matter is very simple." Ted spread his hands and said: "After I found the principal, he called Lucius to the office, and then asked Lucius to cast a spell in front of me."

"The Patronus Charm."

"Lucius successfully summoned his own patron saint - this is why I did not continue to object."

"At least, he hasn't completely become a dark wizard."
